"Looksmaxxing" idol

In recent years, Lachowski and other popular male models such as Jordan Barrett have been venerated by the "looksmaxxing" movement of young men, due to the perception that they aesthetically dominate other men due to their sought-after and attractive physical features. Looksmaxxing is a concept related to the incel subculture and its preoccupations with physical attractiveness.

Experts have expressed concern over the dangers of some "lookmaxxers" eating as little as possibly in order to try and emulate Lachowski's more defined and angular "modelesque" facial appearance. Lachowski himself was initially unaware that he was considered such an aspirational figure among these young men. He has criticized the extreme parts of the movement, saying it is “disheartening and concerning” and "saddening" to find out he was associated with such practices, and that he encourages all his fans to prioritize a healthy lifestyle with balance and self-care.[21][22]
